a regular reminder that on most fast-moving arterial roads and busy car-sewer streets, most of the noise you hear are from the tires rolling along pavement, not motor noise

unlike this blud, i live in toronto. my office is on bloor. over 70% of ppl travelling on bloor are on transit, foot, or bike, *not* driving. people are delivering parcels, food, and commuting between school, work, home on bloor. bike lanes save lives & are good for the economy.

making IBX, the first significant orbital rapid transit line in new york, a low-floor light rail line would be a mistake. instead of building a modern, world-class high capacity line like anywhere else, nyc is locking into a typical light rail to avoid *one* grade separation /1

something interesting about cities like nyc, toronto, montreal and cdmx is that they have built significant amount of ridership from the induced demand fueled by low wait times. headways of 2-6 minutes all day provides a certain level of turn-up-and-go convenience that 1/3

montreal now has canada's largest rapid transit system, with 86 km of metro (now with the rem open) montreal's metro system, as of early 2023, was already the busiest in canada and the 3rd busiest in north america after nyc and cdmx what a wonderful place for transit

lots of congestion and delayed 510 buses, stuck behind single-occupancy cars at bloor and spadina. spadina doesn't have any bike lanes, only traffic lanes. meanwhile on bloor street, cyclists whizz by. it's clear - bike lanes don't cause congestion. cars do, they always do.
